Assistance for families following the death of a child or grandchild.

webhealing.com was started in early 1995 after the death of Tom’s (founder) father. He had been a research scientist with NASA and had long been interested in finding ways to use technology to help people. He thought it was perfect fit as a way to honor him. At the time there was very little on the web for grief and healing. There were no web discussion groups using bulletin board software. Webhealing was the first to make use of those resources for grieving individuals. There were also no memorial pages on the web and webhealing started the internet’s first memorial page where people post tributes to their loved ones. The honor page is still functioning today as are the discussions groups.
